the Glasstones and naturals (Nakayama currently) only.
My experience with the DGLP has been excellent so far, it had none of the issues
(raised diamonds, long break-in period) that my DMT-Cs have had out-of-the-box.
It is significantly larger and has recessed areas to catch the slurry, which is a great
feature to have for a dedicated lapping plate. Quite a bit easier to hold without a
holder than the DMT as well.
All that being said, $289 is... well... expensive :)
Chris, I hope you get back on track with a working DGLP.
